NOTICE: v3.4.0 is going to remove the dependency on oscrypto and pycryptodomex

[sfc-gh-aling]

in our next release v3.4.0, snowflake-connector-python is going to remove the dependency on oscrypto and pycryptodomex, which will be replaced by the usage of cryptography library. This is because 1) oscrypto is not actively maintained and 2) we would love to consolidate the usage of the libraries as suggested by the community.

This means that when installing snowflake-connector-python, oscrypto and pycryptodomex are no longer installed along with the connector. Please explicitly specify your own oscrypto and pycryptodomex dependency if your application depends on the two libraries.

for more context, please check the following issues discussing the usage of crypto libraries.
#1605
#1767

PR merged: #1779

we will also release snowsql which will be built upon the latest release of snowflake-connector-python.
however, snowsql still will have pycryptodomex as dependency as it's using functionality from the library.
